Asante Samuelhas some advice for his former Patriots teammate Vince Wilfork.

“I don’t think they care about you, in my opinion,” Samuel said last week, per the Boston Globe. “They didn’t care about me. So do what’s best for you and your family.”

These things should never get personal, but they do. For example, I assume Samuel thinks the Eagles care about him since they ponied up over $57M for his services. But I wonder if Sheldon Brown thinks the Eagles care about him?

Teams make decisions that are best for them. Players make decisions that are best for them. That's just how it is. There are exceptions, but those instances are rare.

Samuel was asked if the Patriots' approach could affect their ability to lure free agents in the future.

“From my end, it would, definitely,” Samuel said. “But they’ve got their own mind-set. The way they treat people is not something I agree with. But everybody has their own opinion.”
